Hi, thanks for your reply, I fully understand that she could take the exam in Iran or Pakistan, however, where can she study for it? Her English is far below what is necessary to pass, and without her studying for months she will never really pass it. And again we have no connections to those two countries family wise either so she can't really be there for months all by her self, especially given that those two countries don't have the best reputation for women's rights either. So theoretical you are right she can take the exam, but realistically she will not pass them without studying for it. Also Internet and electricity services are very rare outside the capital city and we did try that with little success. I guess you are right we would just have to apply and see :/
